Proper name [Latin]

IPA: [kʷɪˈriː.teːs] [Classical-Latin], [kʷiˈriː.tes] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Uncertain. A common proposal is Proto-Italic *kom + *wiros (“fellow man”), which De Vaan (2008) rejects by contrasting the phonetic evolution in cūria, yet doesn't settle on an etymon. Against this, Vine (2016) suggests that the two words could simply stem from periods of different stress, so that different syllables underwent vowel reduction: /kowiˈriː-/ > /kʷiˈriː-/ like Late Latin quāgulum from coāgulum. According to a Roman legend, from the Sabine town, Curēs, which would make it a Sabine loanword. In Ancient Greek the inhabitants of Cures were named Κυρῖται (Kurîtai). Compare Ancient Greek Κούρητες (Koúrētes).

  "etymology_text": "Uncertain. A common proposal is Proto-Italic *kom + *wiros (“fellow man”), which De Vaan (2008) rejects by contrasting the phonetic evolution in cūria, yet doesn't settle on an etymon. Against this, Vine (2016) suggests that the two words could simply stem from periods of different stress, so that different syllables underwent vowel reduction: /kowiˈriː-/ > /kʷiˈriː-/ like Late Latin quāgulum from coāgulum.\nAccording to a Roman legend, from the Sabine town, Curēs, which would make it a Sabine loanword. In Ancient Greek the inhabitants of Cures were named Κυρῖται (Kurîtai).\nCompare Ancient Greek Κούρητες (Koúrētes).",
